<br />
Heya,</div>
Now schools over and I finally have time to get back into blogging again, I'm always much more inspired during the Summer hols anyway. I though it would be a nice idea to look back on a recent situation which has taught me a lot.. so here's a letter to a Teenage Dirtbag.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dear Teenage Dirtbag,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That name is mainly to protect your identity but to be honest you <b>are</b> the biggest teenage dirtbag I know. Nevertheless you did impacted my life and did teach me a lot of valuable things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 1. <b>Openness</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So technically what we had wasn't exactly a monogamous relationship but we were defiantly seeing each other. I repeatedly denied I was in a relationship at all as I was adamant be 'single for summer'.My friends frequently reminded me an open relationship is still a relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the early stages of our "relationship" we were forced to be very open and honest with each other almost straight away, I had to share some stuff not even all of my closet friends know and as this was all in the early days this was hard for me. But you handled it like a fucking pro and I will always admire you for that regardless of what people say about you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 2.<b> Honesty </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually I would consider myself an honest person but wow did we break that barrier.You are hands down one of the most confident and honest people I know. You taught me not to be afraid of the consequences and just ask the hard questions like " what are we?" " Where is this going?" It makes me smile to see my friends almost squirm in fear at the though of being so blunt, I want to thank you for teaching me that this was ok. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 3. <b>New Lifestyle</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I can be very close minded here for two seconds and stereotype you. I never though in a million years I would be attracted to your" type" and to be honest I never knew much about your "type" either. Thank you for opening my eyes to a new lifestyle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 4. <b>How to be treated</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have shown me how I can be treated and you let me come to the conclusion that that was not good enough. You have taught me I deserve better then ignored messages, one word answers and secrets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 5.<b>Facing fears</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't know this and you never will but you helped me face some fears. You don't know I have Obesssive Compulisve Dissorder and you don't know many of my compulsions and intrusive thoughts are based around sexual fears. You were extremely patient and respected every boundary of mine. You held my hand, apologised when you weren't to blame and asked me 101 times If I was ok I will always be grateful for this and consider myself very lucky. Thank you for helping me overcome this.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 6. <b>Vulnerability </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My two biggest fears are: 1. not achieving everything I want to in life and 2. being vulnerable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So many times throughout our "relationship. I have sat by the phone an anxious mess after I have laid it all out. I hate how easily you can control my emotions, I guess its a fear of being hurt. I'm still trying to improve on this but I appreciate you not breaking my heart, thanks for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 7. <b>Having a Good time </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trust me I know how to have a good time. I think our relationship worked best when we were together out at night. I think it was meant to be a whirlwind of fun & adventure and trying new things. It didn't have the actual elements to make a good everyday relationship that would last a long time. When we spent time together we both just constantly laughed and danced, you wouldn't shut up asking why I was smiling so much. Thank you for those memories I'll always look back fondly on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 8. <b>Going with the flow </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im a strong J (which stands for Judgement) in the Myers - Briggs personality test which means I like to quickly make decisions. If you talk to any of my friends they will tell you I had to be stopped from rushing into decisions regarding our relationship. Luckily I have great friends who encouraged me to go with the flow and see what happens. You even said it yourslef " Shur we'll see what happens" which relieved me in that moment. However I defiantly struggled with needing constant clarity and reassurance, which I know I need to work on.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Number 9. <b>Motivation </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have motivated me to work hard and achieve my dreams. Mainly due to the fact you aren't motivated whatsoever, I've seen you throw away oppertunaties and not make the most of your time. I guess I've learned not only from your strengths but also from your flaws and I hope you have leaned from mine too<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for everything. See you next week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love always,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6i13xSdny1rtro67o1_500.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Hey guys,<br />
<br />
Today I will be sharing with you a few lessons I have learned throughout 2015.<br />
I keept the list quiet short as I only wanted to include the more meaningful lessons of 2015.<br />
Grab your snorkel cause shits bout to get deep.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>1.</b> <u><b>Its Ok to be sad</b> </u></span><br />
<br />
I learned this in early January of 2015 & I remember specially thinking of the idea to do this blog post then. I hadn't realised until this but I never allowed myself to be sad for more than 20 mins. I don't know why this was, I think it was a feeling of guilt. A feeling that I have to live a happy positive & optimistic life & every time I would feel sad I would be wasting my life being negative Which I now realise is not the case, its important to allow yourself to lie on your bed and cry for hours ( lord knows I did ) if thats what you're feeling. Allowing myself to be sad has made me more appreciative of the times when I am genuinely happy.<br />
<br />
<b>2. </b><u><b>Don't pin all of your happiness on one thing.</b></u><br />
<br />
Before Halloween my friends and I were drowning in school work and exams. The one thing getting me through was knowing we were going to have an amazing night out on Halloween ( my favourite holiday of the year). Needless to say I was very excited. However, not everything goes to plan and it ended up being the worst night out I have ever had. Its funny to look back because I can laugh about it now. But at the time I was so low and disappointed and the thought of going back to school to drown in work was enough to make me want to hibernate for the rest of the year.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>3. Sometimes you need to not give a f**k</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I'll admit I'm a bit of a perfectionist and when things like my make-up or outfit isn't 'just right' I get frustrated. However I have tried this new thing where I don't give a shit and go out and have a great time anyway. Turns out the nights where your not worried about your hair or your lipstick can be an amazing care free night. I highly recommend it. Also big thanks to my friends for their patience with me when I get pissed off at stupid things like my make-up.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leave me a comment telling me what you have learned in 2015, I'd love to know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See you soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love always, </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kYFKwWqcVoA/Vjt22eRKrpI/AAAAAAAAB4s/shTAsI2Lqq4/s1600/interview.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kYFKwWqcVoA/Vjt22eRKrpI/AAAAAAAAB4s/shTAsI2Lqq4/s640/interview.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Hey Guys,<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you might know mental health week was in October.You also might know that mental health is a passion of mine. I was lucky enough to be able to interview Sorcha Lowry the campaign manager of seechange.ie to bring you some information.<br />
Heres what she told me..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Can you tell me about seechange.ie and about what you do?</i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
See Change is the national mental health stigma reduction partnership. So we are the national campaign to get people talking about mental health, and hopefully reduce the stigma and discrimination that surrounds it. So that nobody has to suffer in silence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>What exactly is stigma?</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
The easiest way to explain stigmas is the silence that we experience around mental health. When its the reason people are afraid to seek help if they are going through a tough time, or it is often the reason that people are afraid to talk about it and offer support because they are afraid of saying the wrong thing. As well as that It can often translate into discrimination. We have seen stigma as all of the myths and negative stereotypes that surround mental health and limits the opportunity for some people who have personal experience with mental heath problems. So that could mean that a boss or a potential employer mightn't be informed enough about mental health and they might believe that somebody qualified to do the job might not be the best person for the job. Or it could even mean that people lose out on friendships and things like that because other people are afraid what might happen or afraid of the unknown.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>What are some ways in which people can reduce the stigma?</i></span></div>
<br />
Well the easiest way to do it is simply by talking. That's a job for everyone not just those who have personal experience but for absolutely everyone to be an open door and an open book. To talk about their own mental heath be open about what's going on for them.Getting a bad day off your chest. But also in being able to support others and letting them know that they can talk if they want to talk and you will be there to listen, if they ever want to talk. Just so people know that they don't have to suffer in silence.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about talking opening up about their mental health struggles?</i></span></div>
<br />
What we would say is that make sure that you choose wisely. Choose someone that you can trust, and choose someone that you think the conversation might go well with. We cant control what other peoples reaction will be, unfortunately. But at the same time, I cant stress the importance of talking enough. Its not that the other person is going to solve all of your problems, nor that you want them to. Just getting it off your chest it so good, even just by hearing it out loud you work it out yourself, without the other person getting a word in. That can totally help as well. But as well as that everybody has a role and friends and family are really important. But there comes a time when you might need professional support aswell, and that can be really really helpful and I think the best website to contact is<a href="http://www.yourmentalhealth.ie/"> yourmentalhealth.i</a>e, because that has every support service in the country, every group, every organisation. You just go in and say where your from. What might be going on for you. What type of service you might be looking for and it will come up with a few of the most appropriate supports for you. So its really really helpful<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>What is the the best advice you can give someone whose friend has confined in you about their mental health struggles? As I know it can difficult to know what to say.</i></span></div>
<br />
Exactly and you can imagine if your best friend turns around and tell you their are in a really dark place of course alarm bells are going to go off. But the most important thing to remember is, everybody is responsible for their own mental health. You are not responsible for anybody else and the most helpful thing you can do is to listen and to be there for someone in a non judgemental way. So not to think that 'oh my god, she's my responsibility now I have to solve this problem as well as my own.' But actually all you are is that listening ear for someone, you can maybe help them identify what other supports are available. Who else they might be able to talk to or even if they need professional support. But really the most helpful thing you can do is provide that space and to listen.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What ways can your school/workplace get involved in reducing mental health stigma?</span></i></div>
<br />
I think that's a really good idea for you as a group of students/people to do rather than waiting on teachers/employers to do something. Its the students/employees that are going to listen to the people that they identify with, rather than somebody talking in a book or a video or anything else like that. But actually if students and people's peers and friends and family start something up and say 'this is something we need to talk about, this is something we need to prioritise'. I think that could work really well.The one piece of advice I would give is, don't do it completely in isolation of the teachers/employers because they could open up a lot of doors. They could provide good resources and things like that. The simplest thing to do is to encourage people to talk. Whether that a board where people can leave messages on, in a public place so that people know that they are no alone, they don't have to suffer in silence. Or even you can order free green ribbons from seechange.ie So that everybody can wear one, if your got personal experience or not and its a really great sign of symbolic support, and you never know whose day you are going to make by wearing one.<br />
<br />
If you want to want to help break the stigma surrounding mental health or if you just want to show some your support. Make sure you check out <b><a href="http://www.seechange.ie/">www.seechange.ie</a></b><br />

Thank you so much to Sorcha for giving up her time to do this interview with me it means a lot.</div>

Hey Guys,<br />
Its been a while, going back to school has been busier then anticipated.<br />
I am currently ignoring the studying I have yet to do for my Christmas tests.<br />
<br />
This is currently my favourite time of year, Halloween, Autumn, Christmas & New Year. I feel like everyone's is in a great mood from October till December. In Autumn all the clothes in the shops become 100% more comfortable and I want everything in sight. So I have decided to share with you my Autumn wishlist..<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
Make-up</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media.charlottetilbury.com/catalog/product/g/l/glastonberry-swatch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media.charlottetilbury.com/catalog/product/g/l/glastonberry-swatch.jpg" height="200" width="157" /></a></div>
I love a berry lipstick all times of year, but I especially love it in Autumn/Winter. Also I feel its more socially acceptably to wear it then.<br />
If you watch Zoella you might be aware of one of her favourite berry lipstick <i><u>Charollotte Tillburys Glaston Berry</u></i>. Its a gorgeous purple toned berry shade, also the packaging is so beautiful. Defiantly on my wishlist.€30 for a lipstick? Maybe for Christmas.<br />
<br />
<i><u>Kat Von D liquid lipsticks</u></i>, liquid lipsticks seem to be taking over the beauty world lately and I have yet to try one. I have been lusting over everything from Kat Von D lately especially her liquid lipsticks.Kat Von D isn't available in Ireland, so I would have to order it off the Sepora website. Is it worth the risk? Will I like it? Also it would be €30 with shipping so that's a bit of a risk. Let me know if you have tried them & what you think.<br />
<br />
<i><u>Lorac Pro Eye-Shadow Palette €39</u></i> This has always been on my make-up wishlist. The palette has mainly warm shades which I think would look so nice for Autumn & Winter. Also party season is fast approaching so its almost time to crack out the glitters.<br />
<br />
<br />
Two berry eye shadows a gold glitter and a highlight. This is the only pallet I need on my eyes this season. I would happily just use these eye shadows for the rest of my life. As you can see I just really want to try<i><u> Charlotte Tillbury Eye-Shadow Quad €54 .</u></i><br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Fashion</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
The pink & black skirt is from <i style="text-decoration: underline;">New Look €28</i><br />
Brown Suede Skirt is from <u style="font-style: italic;">Topshop €125</u><br />
<br />
The mini skirt trend is defiantly something I want to take part in. Imagine how cute it would be with black tights, ankle boots & a winter coat. I can defiantly see myself wearing this Christmas day. Is it too early to plan my Christmas day outfit yet? However I have scoured the shops for a brown suede button skirt and they're sold out in New Look & Topshop.<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Footwear</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
I'm a big fan of Dr.Martins and got my first pair about a year ago. These pair however are very unusual I'm not sure what material they are made from but I love the look of them You can never have too many winter boots right?<br />
<br />
I have one pair of Chelsea boots from New Look but I don't wear them much as there isn't much of a heel & being short wearing pointed boots I feel like an elf. Which is a good thing if you get really into Christmas. I think these boots <i>( <u>Black Chelsea Boots €40 New Look</u> )</i> would be perfect for day or night.<br />
<br />
( <i><u>Dark Red Suede Ankle Strap Heels €50 New Look</u></i> ) I have wanted these heels in white since Summer but they haven't been in stock since. When I saw them in this dark red colour I fell in love again, whether they are in stock is another story.<br />
<h3>
<b><br /></b></h3>
<h3>
<b>Accessories</b></h3>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<u><i>Yankee Candles</i></u> are always on my wishlist for A/W<br />
My favourites are Candy Cane Land, Christmas Eves & Apple & Pine Needle<br />
<br />
I think its essential to get a new coat, scarf & hat in A/W. I'm aware that most defiantly isn't essential to do so every year, I just like to change it up. Penneys have a huge winter collection, much bigger than last year, I defiantly recommend<br />
<br />
I hope you guys enjoyed this, let me know what's on your A/W wishlist.<br />
Chat soon!<br />
<br />
Love always,<br />

Hey Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I hope you all are having a lovely evening. I'm just about to go do some studying.<br />
I don't have much time to work on blog posts as of late. Going back to school has been crazy busy. I'm currently swarming in homework & studying. Its hard to find time to blog. But when I do have an evening off during the week I want to spend it catching up with family & relaxing.<br />
<br />
However I have been working on a few different blog posts this weekend but I just need to take some photos & edit them before I can upload them. Basically I wanted to blog this evening & didn't want to wait until at least next weekend until those posts were finished.<br />
<br />
So here's whats been on my mind..<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Recently I have been putting a lot of thought into what I want to study in college. I have been researching courses, calculating points, reading catalogues and to be honest the thought of it makes me feel sick with worry.<br />
<br />
Currently very excited for Halloween, its my favourite time of year & I'm having a lot of fun deciding on what costume to wear. The thought of going on a night out with my friends on Halloween night is what keeping me going thorough the course workload.<br />
<br />
What else do I have to say..I have been having some strange dreams lately. Some too weird to share, but I won a free 1phone 6 in one dream. In another I was in a Jacuzzi with a lot of very good looking boys. Needless to say I was disappointed when I woke up.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's all for tonight I just wanted to have a little catch up because sometimes a post on beauty or fashion can be too impersonal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget to leave me a comment below as I love reading them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love always,</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.48px; text-align: justify;">Hey Guys,</span></div>
<span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So recently I got nominated to do the Liebester Award by the lovely Sinéad from<a href="http://thetravelbibleblog.blogspot.ie/"> The Travel Bible</a>. Today I am finally getting around to answering her questions.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel like I should say some celebrity like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé. But I don't know any of them personally. To be honest I wouldn't trade my real life friends for any celebrity. Shout out to you Chummy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.48px;">3. What have you found most rewarding about being a blogger?</span></b></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">I've thought about this for a while & I even did a quiz & got Alexa Chung haha. But I don't think we have the same style. After pondering for some more it hit me, Sarah Hyland! Everything she wears I want. I don't think her style is particularly girly or masculine she just seems to go wear whatever she was feeling that day, much like myself. Here are some of my favourite looks.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">New York for definite I was 11 and lacked the knowledge of city life so you could imagine my face when I stumbled into Broadway. Seeing the Eiffel Tower someday might just top that feeling.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Shop Street & Quay Street in Galway City on a Saturday.If any of you have ever been, you will know exactly what I'm talking about.There are always musician busking & the streets are always so busy with tourists & locals.Overall its a very happy & atmospheric place to be & never fails to make me stop & smile.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">I listen to almost all kinds of music but the most frequent is probably indie. I love me some Coronas, Kodaline, Walking on Cars & Bastille. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">I crack my knuckles but I think that's pretty common. I'm sure there is something but nothing spring to mind..</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Everything, a ballerina,a teacher, a fashion designer, a model, a singer. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">The last few days I have been looking at every college in Ireland in an attempt to decide what it is I want to do in college. (very scary!)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Barack Obama, could you imagine the fascinating things we could talk about. I'm sure Kim K would be good craic too, but I have to go with Obama for this one.</span></span></span><br />

Hey Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all having a good day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I have been away for a little while - my life has been a little hectic recently with school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But today I have a haul for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So a while ago I went to Dublin shopping with my mam, sister & my best friend. It was such a cute little day out. For so long, I have been wanting to have a day in Dublin solely dedicated to shopping.We devised a plan to start with the shops that we didn't have in Galway, first.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starting with ..</div>

<i>Forever 21</i></h3>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Shakespeare Jumper </span></b><br />
When I saw this jumper the inner nerd in me screamed out. I have always had a bit of a soft spot for William Shakespeare since coming across his work at school. The jumper has a quote from Hamlet which consequentially I am currently studying. I have never seen anything like this before & I think its really unique. I can already tell that I will be living in this during Autumn & Winter.<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Grey Mock Neck T-Shirt </span></b><br />
I have actually been wearing this a lot recently I really like how it looks with a green army jacket. Its so easy to just throw on & run out the door. I've also been really liking mock necks recently.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Bar Necklace </span></b><br />
I have been on the hunt for a necklace like this for a while & was so happy when I saw it in Forever21. If you read my last favourites you will know that I have recently gotten into wearing necklaces.The chain its self is a silver colour and the bar is gold. I like how simple & versatile this piece is & I can wear it with either silver or gold jewellery. If you are looking for reasonably priced jewellery I defiantly recommend Forever21. It was a struggle not to buy everything in sight.<br />

<h3>
<i>Boots </i></h3>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Maybeline Instant Age Rewind Eraser</span></b><br />
I have heard a lot about this concealer & it's been on my list of 'beauty products I want to try' for quiet some time now. I was looking at pictures of my last night out with the girls & realised that my under-eyes were waaayyy too bright. So what better excuse then to pick up this Maybeline one. I have only tried it out once or twice but already I have noticed that it looks much better. I do only<br />
have one complaint & that is there were only 3 colours available to choose from.<br />
<h3>
<i><br /></i></h3>
<h3>
<i>Penneys/Primark</i></h3>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Wet & Wild Megalast Nail Polish in 'Bite the Bullet'</span></b><br />
Originally I was going to repurchase Sugar Coat by Wet & Wild which is a light pink shade. But I think they might have changed the formula because everywhere I have looked it is now an off white colour. Its was one of my favourite shades so that's annoying. But while I was at the Wet & Wild stand I saw this purple/plum colour & thought it was be a nice shade for Autumn.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<i>Lush</i></h3>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Lush's Catastrophe Fresh Facemask</span></b><br />
This was my first time in Lush since I was 11. So needless to say I was very excited. I knew I wanted to get a facemask but I hadn't a clue which one. After talking to an employee about my skin she recommended the Castrophe Fresh Facemask. I have been trying it out over the last while & at first I didn't notice much difference. But after continuous use it calm down my blemish prone forehead &<br />
really moisturised my skin. I just wish there was a Lush near me so I could repurchase this.<br />
<h3>
<i><br /></i></h3>
<h3>
<i>Easons</i></h3>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A Work In Progress by Conor Franta</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have been waiting for Conors book to come to Ireland since the book was released in the USA. I finally found it in Easons after </span>checking<span style="font-family: inherit;"> about 20 times</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I </span>haven't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> gotten around to reading it yet but it is very </span>ascetically<span style="font-family: inherit;"> pleasing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you don't know Conor Franta he is a 23 year old Youtuber & and this book is written by him based on his life so far. Including themes of sexuality, body image & fame on Youtube.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you guys didn't know Nixie-Pixie made the longlist for The 2015 Blog Awards Ireland for the 'Best Youth Blog' & 'Best Beauty Blog' categories. I honestly didn't expect to make the list & I am very grateful to anyone who has ever read or commented on this little blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You da best!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this guys, let me know what you have recently bought or </span>tried<span style="font-family: inherit;"> out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey Guys,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know that poem was crap but I had the majority of it written ages ago & tweaked it a bit as I thought it would fit in with this post well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

Hey Guys,<br />
<br />
I have been asked for swatches of some of my MAC lipsticks & its taken a while but today I am going to be showing you my lipstick collection.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 years ago I was not a lipstick person at all, I though lipsticks were for older people & I would look silly trying to pull them off. However I have since found a love for lipsticks, they might even be my favourite make-up product. </div>

Russian Red</h3>
<div>
This is such a nice classic matte red shade.<span style="text-align: left;"> I </span><span style="text-align: left;">got this lipstick as a Christmas present & have been wearing it a lot the past month. Its a lovely blue-toned matte red shade, However I do not recommend applying it on a bus or train like I did. It goes on really well & doesn't dry out my lips. This is now my new go-to red lip.</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Shy Girl </h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got my first MAC lipstick over a year ago for my birthday from my lovely friends, they knew I had been eyeing up Shy Girl for a few months. Its a peach coloured nude with a cremesheen finish. This finish is very moistening & means I don't have to remember to apply a lip balm beforehandI also don't need to wear a lip liner with this shade. I really like nudes like this because I can wear any eye shadow colour with it.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Rebel</h3>
<div>
This is one of my favourite lipstick by M.A.C. Its looks like a dark purple shade but when swathched it looks like more pink tonned.I wore this a lot in Autumn & Winter especially around Christmas. I cant wait to wear it again this Autumn/Winter. I think its such a beautiful shade that would suit most skins tones. It has a satin finish & is very opaque which I like a lot.</div>

<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please Me</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I have lost this lipstick which makes me so sad. It was one of my favourite nude lipsticks. Its a light matte pink lipstick which is very opaque. I love how this lipstick will go with any look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't use a lip liner with it but you could if you wanted. I think M.A.C. lip liner Edge to Edge would go well with this lipstick.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Today I want to talk about road trips. I recently went on a road trip with my parents. We were the whole day travelling.I have always been a fan of long car journeys. But this one was a lot of fun. Naturally when you are away from the internet & in the midst of the mountains a lot of things cross your mind.<br />
<br />
Driving through the mountains can be very calming and peaceful & I really recommend it if you are an anxious person or if you have a lot on your mind.<br />
I was the whole day without the internet just me & my thoughts for 5 hours in the car. However I did bring a few things to keep me company.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
<b><u>What I brought</u></b> -<br />
Shane Dawson s book 'I Hate My Selfie', in this book Shane takes a light hearted look at his life in the form of short comedic stories.<br />
& All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven I have only started this book but have been wanting to read it for a while now. I know it has been compared to The Fault in Our Stars & Eleanor & Park so I'm excited to read it. It is also set to be made into a movie staring Ellie Fanning.<br />
My notebook & a pen where I jot down all of my thought, ideas and lists. I bring this with me almost all of the time. You never know when an idea will hit you!<br />
I also brought my sunglasses & strawberry carmex with me you have to be prepared for all kinds of weather.<br />
<b><u>What I ate</u></b> - We stopped in this small family owned pub/restaurant there was barely anyone there & it seemed very derelict. But the staff were so friendly & the atmosphere was so cosy. I ate a vegetable quiche.quiche. I've had quiche before but never vegetable. It came with salad & home-made chips.<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">What I listened to</u> - Saint Raymond 'As We Are Now' & Ed Sheeran 'Photograph', 'Runaway' 'Afire Love' & 'Nina'<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the way home we drove past this beautiful dock on this river, the sun had just set & it was really beautiful - I know the picture is blurry but I kind of like it.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leave me a comment telling me what you listen to on long car journeys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love always,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Recently I have been loving Ashley Benson's style, mainly her sleek ponytail & dewy make-up look.<br />
I would probably wear this look<br />
<a name='more'></a> on a casual night out with the gurlos xo<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Make-up </div>
</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
For make-up I would wear MAC's Cranberry eye-shadow or M.A.C's Sushi Flower eye shadow. I'm not usually one for mad eye shadows but I am willing to give this look a go. I would pair this with a natural lipstick like M.A.C's Velvet Teddy or a light matte pink like M.A.C.s Please Me. I recently have been loving a very highlighted & contoured make-up look with natural but well shaped eyebrows.<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Hair</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nPkLUcG6U_8/VcNo9GGqaeI/AAAAAAAABx0/rK4GtCFUIN8/s1600/ashley%2Bbenson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nPkLUcG6U_8/VcNo9GGqaeI/AAAAAAAABx0/rK4GtCFUIN8/s320/ashley%2Bbenson.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For hair I would either have my hair straight or in a low sleek ponytail with a middle parting like Ashley is wearing in this photo. I like how effortless and natural this is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h2>
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Accessories</span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For accessories I would probably wear a Black or white clutch with white heels. I have been admiring these heels from New Look but unfortunately hey are never in stock when I go to buy them. I never wear a watch but I think a rose gold or tan coloured one would look really nice with this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Dear Future husband,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
First of all I really hope no one digs this post up on our wedding day because that would be embarrassing. But if they do Hi everyone I hope your all having a good day & don't forget to tell me how good I look ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On a serious note, I'm dying to know where we meet oh God please say it wasn't Tinder..I feel like it was some random pub or nightclub. Where are you from? Ireland more than likely. I have my money on Roscommon. When do I meet you? According to my horoscope I meet you very soon but I call bullshit. Hopefully not that soon I'm not ready yet I barely know how to put on a wash or do taxes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
God what's love like? Have you been heartbroken before? Have I? It crazy to think you are living some where going about your every day. Living the stories that you'll someday share with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ohh Whats our wedding like? Did dad walk me up the aisle? I hope he did. Are my siblings there? My nephews? Do I have a niece? How many? I cant wait for our wedding ( why am I getting emotional?) <br />
<a name='more'></a>My bridesmaids! Chummy better be there! Do I even know all of my bridesmaids yet? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are all of my friends and family there? I hope they are happy for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our first dance, is it an Ed Sheeran song? Do we stumble over each other? If we do I'm blaming you, I did dance for several years. Do I have a 'Is this real life?' moment like I've dreamt of ? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What's you family like? Please tell me I get along with your mother. I'm sure I do. Do you have siblings? I cant wait to meet them I hope they all like me. Maybe you're an only child.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope we live in a nice house & are very happy. As for children, we will hopefully have 2 or 3. Don't laugh but I like the names Poppy, Grayson, Alexa,Andie, Maddi,& Charlie. Oh ya & were having a daughter called Skye, you have no choice in the matter ;).</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cant wait to meet you. See you in a few years</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy 3rd day of BEDA!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Love always,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey Guys</div>
<br />
Today I'm going to be showing you the things I have been loving throughout the month of July.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starting with..<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><a name='more'></a><br /></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Fashion </span></h2>
</div>
<span style="color: red;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Layered Necklaces</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I never really wore a lot of jewellery before but I was sorting through my jewellery collection & decided I should probably start. I also really liked the festival trend of layering necklaces on top of each other. Here are some of my favourites</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L-R Primark, Boohoo x3, Newbridge Silverware.</div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Primark Flats</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been looking at the Pebble Snake Slip-ons by Vans. But I have been unsure if they suited me or if I would get any wear out of them. So when I spotted these almost replicas in Penney's/Primark I was very excited to try them. I have worn these a lot so far & love how they look. They are so comfy & go with everything. For less then a tenner shur where would ya be going?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Zovirax</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Unfortunately this month my face has decided to attack me with cold sores. So I have been using Zovirax. It is one of the few things I find that actually helps.It has defiantly been a holy grail for me this month. If you suffer from coldsores then I defiantly recommend this, It helps to prevents them if you apply it straight away & it really helps with the healing process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Real Techniques Contour brush</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been loving this since before July actually. This brush is from the Real Techniques core collection. I really like the shape as well as the size. I find its perfect for contouring & applying blush. I sometimes use it for applying powder to my under eyes as well. It could also be very good for applying highlighter but I haven't tried if for that yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<b>Smashbox Full Exposure eyeshadow brush</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another brush I have been loving is the double ended eyeshadow brush from my Smashbox Full Exposure palette. One side is a fluffy blending brush and they other is a flat shader brush. Basically a MAC 239 & a 217. Which is very handy when my mac eyeshadow brushes are dirty. But I have been loving this brush for concealer. I use the blending brush to blend my concealer on any blemishes & under my eyes. I really like how it looks because I find when I apply concealer with my finger it looks patchy & doesn't stay in place.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b>MAC Russian Red</b><br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I got this lipstick as a Christmas present & have been wearing it a lot the past month. Its a lovely blue-toned matte red shade, However I do not recommend applying it on a bus or train like I did. It goes on really well & doesn't dry out my lips. This is now my new go-to red lip.</div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Lifestyle</span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b>
<b>Bagels</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
This month I eat far too many bagels especially the cinnamon & raisin ones. I've defiantly ate at least two packs of the New York Bakery bagels. It seems that every time I eat out this months I ordered a bagel. From just butter to hummus and avocado. But my personal favourite combination has to be cream cheese & raw smoked salmon.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Big Brother</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
In July I fell down a Big Brother hole. I watched it religiously every evening with my mother & became totally obsessed. Its all I wanted to talk about to my friends and family & by the end of the series my sister & best friend knew all about the show from barely even watching it.</div>
<br />
For the month of August I will be doing B(A)EDA - Blog (almost) every day August where I will be trying to get a blog post up every week day this month.<br />

early, 11 weeks early to be exact. Being born premature was a real shock to my
parents but the bigger shock was that I was diagnosed with a disability called
Cerebral Palsy. This is a disability that is physical and affects my walking.
Of course though people don’t realise that being disabled affects me
emotionally as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
used to complain about the smallest things and pretty much anything could annoy
me to the ends of the earth but by finding the positives in a negative
situation I get less and less annoyed. This skill is actually really easy to do
once you get the hang of it. When I get wrapped in the stress of something it
gets on top of me I try to tell myself that:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A)
"I don't care", which most of the time isn’t true but by saying this
it makes me think that I have a tough skin and if you think it, it starts to
become true right?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">B)
" It's okay” and most of the time it is, you just have to let all the
negative things pass and trust me, they will. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. DON'T FUSS OVER OTHER PEOPLE'S
PROBLEMS<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everybody
has their good days and their bad days and it's on these days when their
problems come. On these days people appreciate a shoulder to cry/lean on and
ears that are willing to listen but you need to remember that you can't let
their problems become a part of your own life. You can obviously help this person in whatever way you can but if you
transfer the weight of that problem on your own shoulders then your just adding
more negativity in to your life and way of living and that's not what this post
is about is it?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thinking
about a problem more than you have to is only extending the course of negative
thinking. When something comes up that annoys you then rather than ignoring it,
hoping it will go away, try and deal with it ASAP. If need be, go out and buy
the entire sweet section of Sainsbury's. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If
you continuously dwell on a situation or someone then you start a snowball

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Letting
your mind wander back past the present day or fast forward to much your left in
a state of anxiousness and regret. Throughout your day remind yourself that
life is what's happening in front of you and is RIGHT NOW and that you can't
change your past or predict the future. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whenever
I have the opportunity to spread positivity I cease it seeing somebody smile
because of you is an incredible feeling. Try to think if something nice you can
do for somebody every day, for example, complementing strangers on their
outfits. The world is a walking Pinterest advert if you look out ya window! <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When
people say that "hanging around negative people will cause you to feel
negative as well" it's so cliché but it's SO TRUE! Try to limit your time
with negative people, and think about the people you want to surround yourself
with instead and treasure these people! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sleep
impacts how we operate the next day so according to Science we need the right
amount otherwise loads of bad stuff will happen. I'm kidding but with the
correct hours of sleep we can improve our health as well as having more energy
to be nice to people! YAY, WHOOO FOR NICE PEOPLE!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being
grateful for the day when you wake up can instantly put a smile on your face.
If you think about it, you could've died yesterday but you didn't, surely
that's got to make you smile. When you start your day on a good note your
happiness and confidence levels rise throughout the rest of the day. Smile and

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hey Guys,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Today I
want to talk about something I have recently became very aware of & that is
the harmful chemicals & toxins used in beauty products.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Researchers in the U.S.
have found that 1 in 8 of 82,000 ingredients used in personal
care products are hazardous industrial chemicals. Many of these harmful
substances are used to clean industrial equipment, stabilize pesticides
and grease gears.I think we can all agree that these are not things we want in
our moisturisers or shampoos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Some products also contain
carcinogens which have been linked to causing cancer, neurotoxins which can
cause damage to the brain and nervous system and reproductive
toxins which impair the ability to reproduce and can cause damage to the
offspring itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Thankfully things like Formaldehyde (carcinogen
and irritant found in nail products, hair dye, fake eyelash adhesives &
shampoos.) and hydroquinone (used for lightening skin. rated most toxic on
the EWG’s Skin Deep database, and linked to cancer and reproductive toxicity)
are banned in the EU & UK.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">However
words such as “natural” &"organic" have no legal definition.
Companies are supposed to only use an organic label if all ingredients are
certified-organic, but they can also say it’s “made with organic” if it a
product contains a minimum of 70 percent certified-organic ingredients. 30% is
still too much room for dangerous toxins.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">How can I protect myself from these harmful chemicals & toxins?</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

doing my research I found a really helpful website <a href="http://www.safecosmetics.org/"> Safecosmetics.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">On there they have </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">letters written to make-up brands asking them to remove harmful
substances from their products. They also have a lot of information about
safer beauty products. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There
is also a free app that you can download called 'Think Dirty' which lets you
scan a barcode of a product & will tell you if there is any harmful toxins
in it, so you can make wiser shopping decisions. They will also rate how
harmful some products are on a scale out of 10b& tell you how safe the products lying in your
bathroom are<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Whenever my skin is acting up or whenever my foundation</span></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">doesn't apply as well as it should.I know I need to a use this scrub. It makes my foundation apply flawlessly & prevents </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="text-align: center;">it clinging to any dry patches. It leaves my skin feeling really smooth & soft. The scrub itself also smell really fresh of apricots.</span></div>

<br />
I use this face wash every morning to clean my face & wake me up before applying my moisturiser.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Honestly I don't think face washes have to fit much criteria. I know you can get specifies ones like blackhead clearing, mattifying etc. As long as they don't irritate your skin and smell nice then it suits me. I really love the smell of this, the grapefruit is really fresh & is certain to wake me up in the morning. I also like how it has a pump on it, it makes it a lot easier to use & controls how much I use. I have ran out of it & in replacement I bought the visibly clear spot clearing face wash by neutrogena.I'm looking forward to trying it & seeing if I like it as much as the grapefruit one. </div>

I recently started to use this spot cream & I really like it. I to use it on any blemishes & leave it on over night. But it defiantly quickens the healing process, reduces redness & drys out blemishes. It may sting though, you have been warned.</div>

Adding Bio Oil helps to heal any scars & hyperpigmentation it also adds more moisture. If you have dehydrated skin I defiantly recommend this.

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have talked about this moisturiser in my last favourites. Before using this my skin was very dehydrated & irrated especially on my T zone. I've tried other moisturisers including Dove ,Simple, Silcock base & Bare Minerals.They were all fine but defiantly not hydrating enough for my dry skin. Since using my La Roshe Posay moisturiser my skin hasn't been flaky or red and irradiated since & just looks healthier in general.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its very soothing & gentle on the skin & non-perfumed either. There's something about putting perfumed products on my face that I don't like. It does a great job removing make-up & removes Benefits They're Real Mascara without much effort. It doesn't sting when I get it in my eyes either which is a bonus. You also get a lot of product for what you pay for (onsale for €4 currently in Boots). The only problem I find is that the cap will leak if left on its side. So I would not bring this travelling & instead transfer some into a travel bottle. I have seen in shop that they have made a new screw cap so maybe other people have been having this problem too.</div>

I recently bought this moisturiser in an attempt to cure my dehydrated skin. This moisturiser has done a fantastic job. It has made my skin look plump & glowy. Most importantly I now don't have a dry flaky forehead that stings when I wash it. TMI? It also keeps my skin soft on days I forget to moisturise which is fantastic.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been lusting at this palette for a while & was lucky enough to get it for my birthday .I am in love with the colours in this palette. I like how there are an equal amount of matt colours as glittery & shimmery. I do need to play around with it more & test out all of the colours. But so far I have been loving this the past month.</div>

I got this for my birthday & ohh it's so purty. I never used highlighter as I didn't like the idea of putting anything shimmery on my face. But lately I have been loving how it looked on other people & wanted to try it for myself. This highlighter adds a subtle and natural glow. I have been wearing it since I got it,<br />
Why haven't I tried highlighter sooner? (Thanks Chummy)<br />

I have been using this brush instead of my Real Techniques Stippling Brush since Christmas. I defiantly prefer this brush as it blends really well & makes foundation a lot easier to apply. Its also really soft. It cannot be bought separately as its apart of the Core Collection by Real Techniques. But its worth buying the set just for this brush. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I recently purchased this foundation as I wanted to try something new & heard a lot of good things about it. I have been wearing it for the past month. Its very natural yet buildable, I like to wear this during the day as it leaves a natural and dewy finish. I picked up the one aimed towards dry/normal skin but Revlon also do a version more suitable to oily and combination skin. A must recommend.<br />

I have been loving Shane Dawson lately, I have always watched his videos but in the last month I watched his movie 'Not Cool' & bought his book 'I Hate Myselfie'. Which I recommend if you are looking for a laugh. But my personal favourite are Shanes podcast 'Shane And Friends' with Jessica Buttafacco.

I finished Gossip Girl, all 6 seasons. I loved it so much & now I'm so sad its over. I cried like a baby for almost the entire final episode. The whole cast was amazing especially Ed Westwick he had me fooled with that accent. I don't want to ruin it on anyone so I won't say too much about it. But I don't know what to do with myself now that its over. However, I do have Orange Is the new Black & Pretty Little Liars to catch up on.</div>

Hey Guys,</div>
<br />
I was listening to some songs that I have recently stumble apon & fallen in love with. Then I started to question <strong>why</strong> I like these songs so much. One of the reason was the lyrics. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are my favourite lyrics from some of my favourite songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Daughter - Youth</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"..if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="ann-annotated" data-id="19062">'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.."</span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is something so hopeful in these lyrics. Even if you have been through a hard time, other people may have been through worse & you should count your blessings and call yourself lucky.</div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Marina & the Diamonds - Savages</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="ann-annotated" data-id="19062">"..Underneath it all were just savages hidden behind shirts ties and marriages.."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This song is very unusual & I think that's why I like it so much. I like the message behind these lyrics that even the people who seem civilised may not have very civilised thoughts or actions.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">James Blunt - Bonfire Hearts</span></h3>

Hey Guys,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever found yourself stuck in a fashion rut? You open your closet to find clothes that you either live in or never wear. Well that's exactly the problem I have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel bored of my current clothes & want to wear something new.I have gone shopping a few times in an attempt to solve this problem. Only be met by a vast amount of crochet crop tops and booty shorts. Which I don't want to wear everyday, needless to say we don't have that kind of weather here. I bought mom jeans the other day & I love them but I don't know how to wear them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know I just don't feel like I don't know my style at the moment its this weird mess of casual and simple with a desperate attempt to inject more colour. I think I got caught in the transition of the new season. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shops are filled with festival wear which I am very excited to wear to concerts. But I just don't feel like I can wear that style when I go about my day in a rural town in Ireland. I'm planning on going shopping soon and having a through look in the shops. I want to break out of my comfort zone & wear things I wouldn't<br />
usually.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully I will find some inspiration, I'll keep you updated.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know if you have ever felt this way and let me know if you have any advice<br />
Have a good weekend!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love always,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey Guys,<br />
<br />
This post has been a while coming as last week I was really busy, it was also my birthday so I spent a lot of time with family & friends. #Blessed.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am going to be talking about music. I love music, listening to music, dancing & singing to music.I especially love sharing music.<br />
That's why I'm going to be sharing with you some of my favourite artists.</div>
<br />

Starting with Marina..<br />
<a name='more'></a>I have loved Marina Diamindis since I first discovered her in 2012. She has produced 3 albums, the most recent 'Froot'. Froot was released last March and was written single handly by Marina with one producer Dave Kosten. Marinas song are dark and mysterious yet sweet and peppy. I think that's what makes Marina so unique. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>Revlon 24HR Colour Stay Foundation -</em></strong> I have been eyeing up this foundation for awhile now. I have been using my No.7 Instant Radiance foundation for almost 2 years now & as much as I love it, I felt it was time for a change. I have tried this out a few times so far & it gives a very dewy natural look. I really love it so far. A must recommend.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><strong>NYC Colour Wheel -</strong></em> I have mentioned before that I have been on the hunt for a blusher & couldn't find one<em> </em>I liked.

I picked it up a few weeks ago & gave it a go. Its not very shimmery which I like because I don't particularly like the very shimmery look. It comes in 4 different shades I got mine in 'Pink Cheek Glow'. Its a very good price as well, I don't remember exactly what I paid for it but I know it was less than </span></div>

I have heard of Miceller water & I have heard of cleansing wipes. But never the two together. I love Ganier's Micellers water so these seemed like a good travel version. These will come in handy as I will be spending a few nights away from home soon & my Garnier Miceller water tends to spill. I found out that these wipes are new on the market & at an introductory price of €2.49</span><br />

Hey Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't tell you how happy I am that it's finally Summer. I'm currently sitting outside in the scorching sun (extremely rare in Ireland). Today I just want to simply talk about Summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
During the beginning of Summer I always feel motivated & inspired. I have 3 and a half months to do nothing, or everything and anything. This Summer I am determined to make the most of it before school starts. I have promised myself that I'm going to say yes to any opportunity that I'm offered, even if it scares me.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Its far to easy for me to waste the days away on the internet. That's why I made a Summer bucket list. I'd be here all day explaining to you everything on my bucket list so I'm just going to talk about some of the most exciting things.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The Colour Dash</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would really like to do something for charity & now that I have the time, why not? I would love to do The Colour Dash which is taking place in 3 locations in Ireland this year Galway, Cork and Dublin. In aid of the Irish Cancer Society you can run/walk 5k. I hope to rope in as much family & friends to do this with me. I know it will be one of the highlights of Summer.<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Getting a job/internship</strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something I want to do this summer is get a job or if not an internship. I have already sent out my C'V's in hopes of earning a few extra bob. If I don't get a job I can still babysit so that's going to be my back up plan. Before September I would love to get more work experience in the careers I'm interested in pursuing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Being creative</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This summer I want to put more time and creativity into my blog. I especially want to write more lifestyle posts, after all they are my main focus. The past few weeks I haven't had any good ideas and wasn't feeling overly inspired. But reading other blogs had really helped. I have stared keeping a little notebook to write all of my ideas.I also have a few collaborations up my sleeve.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To those of you still doing exams, don't worry they will be over soon & you will have an amazing summer to look forward to, I promise.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I urge you to make the most of your summer.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love always,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey Guys, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I went shopping, and didn't pick up much but wanted to do a mini haul anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
La Roche-Posay Intensive 24H Rehydrating Care Pro-Radiance - I picked this up because none of my moisturisers were doing the trick. I have very dry skin especially in my T-zone. I was talking to the pharmacist & she recommended this for me. It is water based & contains Hyaluronic acid, which helps to hold water in the skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The second thing I picked up was this beautiful purse from Penneys. I had been admiring this for a while now. My old purse is currently falling apart so what better excuse then to pick up this one..</div>

The gold detailing is so dainty & pretty. They also had it in a pink/cream colour as well which I found really hard to choose between.</div>
